    Did anyone watch "Garage Mahal" on DIY tonight?

    Kind of a let down, since they took a 3 car garage and re-did it for a family that had 6 zillion bikes and the dad is a personal trainer for professional athletes. The colors were cool, though, black and blue checkerboard. They also put a large flat screen tv in for the guys to watch after...

    THE coolest epoxy floor color picker!!!

    In my garage I used Daytona tiles, which I love.(the garage floor would have been a nightmare to prep for epoxy). We also have a dog training business and decided to use an epoxy on a new floor we put in our training building. We used originalcolorchips.com which we have been extremely pleased...

    Found a wall-mount garage vacuum to try...

    Last year I bought myself a wall-mounted Metro vacuum/blower. It is a great garage unit that doesn't require any work install wise. Just hang on the wall and you have a great 4HP vac with a 24ft hose and nice attachments. It also converts to a blower for a quick blow out of the garage. It cost...

    Garage Redeux Phase 1 Complete!! (lots of pics)

    This is my modest little garage. I started researching products and ideas last summer. Then I found this place!!! Anyway, this is a 22'x22' attached garage. It isn't really big enough for a great workshop area or a hang out space, but for me it is just right. We have a tractor barn for doing the...

    Is it ok to prettify the breaker box?

    The breaker box in my garage is pretty unsightly. It is paint splattered and kind of dented and banged up. I was thinking about covering the outer part with contact paper and leave the door section just gray. Or can I just put some pics up there with magnets or is this going to cause problems...

    requirements for mini split

    So I'm now researching the mini split. Assuming I get the mini split the ceiling mount electric heater I bought for the garage will get installed in the basement shop for supplemental heat. I'm a bit confused about the electrical requirements needed for a mini split. I've seen all sorts of...

    Help with placement of ductless mini split

    I currently have a ceiling mounted electric heater still in the box awaiting install. The more I thought about it, the more I decided that I really would like to have A/C in the summer. While I love my PTAC units in my kennel, there is no good place in the garage to put one that it's not an...

    Interesting new pegboard solution

    I found this on a home decorating forum I frequent, (yes, I really AM a girl :bounce: ). I've already received my order of Storewall, but was thinking this stuff might be great to fill in a few small areas where I don't want to cut down the Storewall to fit. The panels are steel and have slots...

    The floor is finished! On to the walls...

    The floor is finished!!!!! It took me a week to get through all the holiday malarky and get enough time set aside to work on it. Overall it took about 2 hours to lay the main area of whole tiles. It took another 4+ hours to do the edging tiles. Now of course, mine was a bit more complicated...

    Look what just got here, and on a Sunday!!

    500 sf of Daytona garage tile! I am so psyched! I've been waiting for this to arrive and was really bummed that I was going to miss this great install weather. Anyway, I'm running out to start clean up. I'll add more pics tonight to show how much I get done! Annette

    My flooring decision, done and ordered!

    This is a duplicate post somewhat. I figured I'd post the results of my floor tile "study" and which tile I decided to use where. Hopefully it will help others here narrow down the choices. I now have samples of at least 6 different floor tiles (Daytona, Racedeck, Big Foot plastic, Big Foot...

    Placement of radiant heating units

    Thanks to everyone here, I just ordered 2 radiant heating units for my 22' by 22' garage. I am trying to figure out how and where to put them. The ceilings in the garage are 9ft. There is a beam that runs down the center from front to back not side to side. The beam is about 1ft wide by tall,so...

    Rubber wall base board

    So I have ordered my floor and it should be here next week. I was at Lowe's today and found the Flexco rubber base board that I would like to use. I'm going to pull out the old baseboard before I put in the Daytona tiles and will need to replace it with something. Has anyone installed this stuff...

    Electric Radiant Heat

    Well my DH had to take my small garage heater (oscillating heater w/thermostat) down to the kennel building to keep the room with the water heater warm. I'm trying to decide on a way to heat the garage for occassional use this winter. Garage is 22'x22' and is insulated.I am in Georgia, so it...

    Can door tension be adjusted by homeowner?

    I have 2 new garage doors (7X9) that were installed over the summer. I have new spings (torsion) but used my existing openers. Recently the doors have started popping back up, which I'm assuming is due to the colder weather. Both doors started doing in on the night of our first very early cold...

    So what's your "If money were no object" dream floor?

    Now, it still has to be a floor that is sensible for a garage/shop. Here's mine, I love that it doesn't have a diamond track or circle pattern. I would however use the diamond track pattern in the area where my car actually drives/parks, but would use the smooth everywhere else. I really like...

    So when installing plastic tile, does one remove the baseboard?

    I'm just about to pull the trigger here, I'm almost completely decided on Daytona tiles. I'm also giving the idea of Bigfoot tile, the flexible rubbery one, a last look. At this point, the main reason I'm not doing the Bigfoot tile is that it is a 13x13 product. My garage is 262 inches wide...

    Are any of the snap together tiles interchangeable?

    Just curious to see if anyone has mixed brands? Like Racedeck with Daytona or whatever. I really like colors from those 2 brands and wondered if the locking loops were the same. Just another thought...... Annette

    Girls Wanna Have Fun, Too!

    I realize I'm most definitely in the minority around here, but I'm hoping I won't offend by posting my design-remodel of my current garage. I know it's not a "serious" garage, no welding equipment, I don't have a lift, but a girl can dream!! Anyway, I'm just getting going on this project and...
